      Are you talking about the ex-CEO who got BTFO for being homophobic? Because that was based and cool, actually.

          The “precise and specific actions” called for in that article, specifically for the purpose of combating speech that encourages violence, like homophobia or white supremacy:

          • Reveal who is paying for advertisements, how much they are paying and who is being targeted.

          • Commit to meaningful transparency of platform algorithms so we know how and what content is being amplified, to whom, and the associated impact.

          • Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation.

          • Work with independent researchers to facilitate in-depth studies of the platforms’ impact on people and our societies, and what we can do to improve things.

          What’s your problem here?

                  I don’t think being anti white supremacy and homophobia is shitty or controversial. Why would an Internet company write an article about something that affects the biggest sector of the Internet, social media? 🤔
                  “No they should stay in their lane and only talk about, I don’t know, CSS or something.” I don’t buy it.

      The CEO of Brave literally supports Censorship so hard that he wants to censor gay marriage out of existence - this actually affects people in real life. When you use Brave, you directly support that individual and their shitty politics.
